Why study journalism at QUT?

From print and broadcast media to online outlets and social media sites such as Twitter, the production and consumption of news has evolved and expanded. Today journalism is produced on more platforms than ever before, and consumed through mobile phones and laptops alongside newspapers, TV and radio.

Hands-on production experience combined with knowledge of theory and context will provide you with a foundation for your journalism career in the 21st century.
